A one-person software company, betting on a specific shift in how people shop and create.
rAIse Labs builds small, opinionated apps that serve the AI agents your customers already use — so independent merchants on Shopify (and creators on Canva next) stay in the room as AI does more of the buying and the making.
I’m Burak. I started rAIse Labs because I kept watching small brands with better products lose to bigger ones — simply because the AI assistants people now ask for recommendations couldn’t parse their catalogs. On Shopify, independent merchants were turning invisible on the new shelf.
The same pattern is surfacing in creative work. Independent designers and small studios rely on tools like Canva to ship the volume their businesses need, and the platform’s own AI is doing more of the generation and remixing. When brand voice, asset libraries, and creative guidelines live in PDFs, Slack threads, and designers’ heads, the agent defaults to something generic — and the small studio’s work gets flattened into whatever the model already knows. The opening is the same: structure what makes a brand specific, so the agent can actually use it.
Shopify is where we started, and AI Ready is the first app we shipped. Canva is next. Every app we ship has to earn its place on a customer’s monthly bill — so we keep the scope tight, the pricing honest, and the feature list finite.
